Two new offerings from Sun widen the company's selection of high-performance graphical computing systems. The 333-MHz version of the Ultra(TM) 10 workstation comes with the Sun Elite3D(TM) m3 graphics accelerator, four times the cache of the original Ultra 10, and twice the cache size of Compaq's or Hewlett-Packard's best offerings, according to Sun. With a 2-Mbyte cache, 128 Mbytes of DRAM, a 4.3-Gbyte hard drive, and 19-inch monitor, the Ultra 10 costs $11,095. The 4-way Ultra 450 is Sun's first workstation to provide up to 4 Gbytes of memory, allowing users to manipulate extremely large data sets. It offers the company's highest levels of processor and I/O expendability, can support two Sun Elite3D m6 graphics cards, and can scale to include up to four 300-MHz UltraSPARC II processors. With one graphics card, two processors, 512 Mbytes of memory, two 9-Gbyte hard drives, and a 21-inch monitor, the Ultra 450 costs $32,865. Both workstations take advantage of the Solaris(TM) operating environment and the company's UltraSPARC processor technology to maintain 100% binary compatibility across Sun's entire line of scalable systems.

Almost every automaker has had to 'pick a side' when it comes to alternative fuel options and ways to divest from a reliance on gasoline. Fiat is looking to back compressed natural gas or liquid propane as an interim solution.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
